Hello Gleb,

To add to the already-mentioned resources, depending on your student's
level of proficiency, Patrick Olivelle's 1998 *The Early Upaniṣads*,
published with Munshiram Manoharlal Publishers, gives the Sanskrit text
with page-facing English translations. It is quite navigable.

Take care,
Eric
